Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 53 Just because I looked at you more in the crowd

Lin Xiangwen looked at the letter in Qianmian's hand.

The whistleblower letter was sent by "Blood Guanyin," a fact that even "Heavenly Sword" was unaware of, but Thousand Faces already knew.

The information still came from the capital city.

Clearly, right under the emperor's nose, the Demonic Cult has already laid a vast net.

It might even be larger than the one in Jiangzhou.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiangwen felt invigorated and realized that his future looked much brighter.

Qianmian had been paying close attention to Lin Xiangwen's condition, and upon seeing his reaction, he nodded slightly.

I'll have to do the ideological work for the Holy Church.

"Xiang Wen, do you understand the power of the Holy Church now?"

Lin Xiangwen nodded.

Although the internal strife within the Demonic Sect made him feel unreliable, the inside stories revealed by Thousand Faces made him start to feel that the Demonic Sect was reliable.

Perhaps the Demonic Sect doesn't necessarily need to be reliable; maybe, as Thousand Faces said, the imperial court is even less reliable.

As long as the Demonic Cult wins the "Most Rotten" contest, it will be the winner.

With this in mind, Lin Xiangwen convinced himself.

"This disciple will certainly do his utmost to help the Holy Sect accomplish its great cause," Lin Xiangwen began, expressing his loyalty.

Qianmian nodded: "As long as you do well, Zhang Aniu... might reward you."

Qianmian decided to take a step back.

For the sake of the greater cause, a few personal quirks should be tolerated.

Lin Xiangwen's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Master."

Thousand Faces: "...You can also take this opportunity to get close to Zhang Aniu. Don't hold back with the people from 'Blood Guanyin's' side. Remember, join 'Nine Heavens' and strive to become Zhang Aniu's right-hand man. Climb as high as you can within 'Nine Heavens'. In the not-too-distant future, 'Nine Heavens' may be a divine sword piercing Yu the Great."

Lin Xiangwen nodded: "Disciple understands, Master. Disciple has another matter to report."

"explain."

"Kong Ningyuan recommended a newcomer named Lian Shanxin, who seems to have some ability. He discovered the Qu family's shady dealings and reported them to 'Tianjian,' thus gaining 'Tianjian's' favor. With him around, he will definitely be a formidable enemy. Can I falsely accuse him of being a member of 'Blood Guanyin' and eliminate him directly?"

Lin Xiangwen holds grudges.

However, Qianmian did not support his idea.

“I know about Lian Shanxin. I have already arranged for someone to make contact with him. He will soon be one of my followers. You don’t need to pay any attention to him.”

Qianmian was still unaware of Dai Yueying's death.

After all, he's currently in hiding, and he just met with Dai Yueying yesterday, so he won't be contacting her frequently.

But Dai Yueying was born with an inner charm, and her multifaceted nature was very clear.

With such a physique, plus his own cultivation, taking down an eighteen-year-old kid was a sure thing for Qianmian.

Therefore, he has already come to regard Lianshanxin as one of his own.

Lin Xiangwen didn't know Dai Yueying's identity, nor did he know that Dai Yueying was dead. Hearing Qianmian say this, he was only slightly disappointed.

And the shock at the thousand-faced methods.

"I never expected that Master would pay attention to such an insignificant person," Lin Xiangwen said regretfully.

Qianmian glanced at Lin Xiangwen with a half-smile and deliberately warned, "When Lian Shanxin led Qi Shiyun to search the Qu family, I was watching from a distance."

Lin Xiangwen immediately became solemn: "Master's plans are flawless. It was I who was too petty and resentful that Lian Shanxin humiliated me in front of 'Heavenly Sword' yesterday. I will correct my mistake. If Lian Shanxin really joins the Holy Sect, I will definitely cooperate with him sincerely and serve the Holy Sect together."

"That's good. With the two of you working together, I can rest assured in Kuangshan." Qianmian nodded.

Lin Xiangwen was also somewhat worried: "Master, Kuangshan is the territory of the 'Celestial Masters.' Are you really safe hiding here?"

“It’s precisely because this is ‘Celestial Master’s’ territory that ‘Heavenly Sword’ won’t investigate. Of course, I won’t stay in Kuangshan forever. Xiangwen, are you so sure that I am definitely me?” Lin Xiangwen’s face turned pale instantly.

He remembered his master's real nickname—Thousand Faces!
“Your teacher is everywhere. Xiang Wen, go now.”

Watching Lin Xiangwen's departing figure, Qianmian's lips curved into a smile once again.

Using both kindness and severity, I, Ji Lingfeng, am the best.

If Heaven had not given birth to my Ji Lingfeng, the Holy Sect would have remained in eternal darkness.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Lian Shanxin felt his eyes were a little tired.

"What exactly is the activation rule of my talent? I wonder if there are any relevant records in the books of the 'Nine Heavens' headquarters in the capital city."

"The main reason is that I don't dare to ask Zhang Aniu, and I don't dare to ask Qi Shiyun either."

Lian Shanxin wasn't worried that Zhang Aniu and Qi Shiyun would harm him, but his talent could indeed bring him death.

We cannot expose our core technologies to outsiders, nor to our own insiders.

Even with his parents, Shan Xin talked about everything else, but not about his talent.

If word got out, given his talent, Lian Shanxin was absolutely certain the emperor would kill him immediately.

Everyone has secrets they don't want others to know, especially important people.

The more you know, the faster you die.

Therefore, Lian Shanxin can only discover the activation rules and usage methods of his talent on his own, and for the time being, he dares not rely on any external forces.

"Fortunately, I'm not someone who relies solely on talent; I still have to exert my own initiative."

After wandering around the academy for half an hour, Lian Shanxin still hadn't seen his talent activate again.

He decided to give up.

living comfortably without anybody's help.

"The academy officially opens tomorrow. I'll meet Zeng Ningbing."

"We also need to be wary of Lin Xiangwen. Although I am magnanimous, not everyone is as forgiving as I am. If Lin Xiangwen is narrow-minded and seeks revenge, I must be prepared."

“If Zeng Ningbing and Lin Xiangwen are both pragmatic, then the list left by Master Dai might need to be changed. However, apart from Jiang Haoran, I don’t recognize any of the people on that list. We have to be selective in what we do; the interpretation of the demonic sect’s rules is in my hands.”

While conducting the "verification check," Lian Shanxin's mind raced, trying to figure out how to quickly discover the demonic cult members.

"what."

Lian Shanxin suddenly stopped and looked at a woman in white walking towards him.

Even from a distance, he could sense the icy aura emanating from the other person.

Of course, this is not the most important.

Most importantly, after learning about Zeng Ningbing from Luo Panlan, Lian Shanxin asked Du Jiu for her portrait.

Unexpectedly, I met Zeng Ningbing ahead of schedule.

I wonder if she had seen my portrait beforehand.

Just as Lian Shanxin was thinking this, Zeng Ningbing, who was looking at him, suddenly frowned slightly and said to the person next to her, "Brother He, this person's eyes are full of filth, which makes me very uncomfortable. I suspect that he has ulterior motives towards me."

Senior Brother He glanced at Lian Shanxin and, realizing he wasn't one of those people he couldn't afford to offend, felt a surge of confidence and flew into a rage: "How dare you covet Junior Sister Zeng! Are you some kind of hidden demonic cult member?"

Lian Shanxin was taken aback at first.

Then he laughed.
